Returned from pefkos 2 weeks ago and been today and booked again for 5 weeks time.Role on September. What a great holiday. The pool and gardens were in a very nice setting and the views over pefkos and the sea view were to die for at the Dimitris studios. Staff were very helpful but did on occasions forget what it was like to smile. Holiday in all was fantastic. Just one snag stopping at the Dimitris - the hill - not to bad going down the hill but an absolute killer climbing back up it especially in the heat, there really needs to be a path as quite dangerous of a night returning back to the Dimitris (the local taxi's dont no the meaning of driving at a reasonable speed).All in all I would recommend a holiday in Pefkos staying at the Dimitris Studios.

Stayed at the dimitris studios in june 2009. Cannot fault the accommodation, friendly staff, great views, excellent pool and set in well tended gardens. This accomodation may be unsuitable for elderly guests due to a steep climb which in the heat is uncomfortable but we had a car so this proved no problem. Taxi cost 4 euros from centre to Dimitris studios. The resort has plenty of restaurants, could choose a different one every night on our 14 days stay. The best restaurant is the colleseum, food is exellent and the worst was a restaurant called the hellas right at the end of the resort on a corner. They served fake steaks and in a salmon pasta dish the portion of salmon was paultry, we thought they were serving food on the cheap so avoid this one if you can.

Went to Demitris studio on 13th May 2009, had heard good reports of this small complex and it was all true. On arrival we were met at the gates of the studio with a warm welcome, told our room numbers and went straight to them, no lengthy booking in proceedure. The appartments were clean, roomy and the view from the balcony was to die for. Uninterrupted view across the swimming pool, down to the village and the sea, it was wonderful. This was Greece like it used to be, being woken up by the sound of goats and sheep wondering around. It is at the top of a steep hill, so its a bit of a walk into the village, it takes about 20 mins but it is very pleasant. It is however very tiring to walk back up, but it is only a 4 euro taxi ride back at night. The village has a lot of good tavernas but avoid Blue Bay its very expensive and the food is awful. Apart from this we never had a bad meal. We used "Flyers" taverna on the beach for breakfast in the morning, yes its a bit of a walk but what a setting, and the food was great, and the people very friendly, they also own the airstrip next door and for 50 euros you can take a sightseeing trip in there aircraft. The holiday was perfect just a note of caution, no bank nearby but a couple of cash machines when they are working. We went early season but the weather was great and the resort quiet, which was what we wanted there was 4 people in our party and including us, the most people around the pool at any time was about 10.
Would I go again ? Book me a flight tomorrow. We know that nothing is as cheap as it used to be, a meal in a taverna at night for 4 of us was anything between 80-100 euros but that was with wine and everything. Rhodes town about 2 hours away and only 5 euros on the bus is well worth a visit, but beware we stopped and had 2 milkshakes a coke and a beer and the bill was over 16 euros, well worth a visit but dont buy anything, If your thinking of going do it its great.

Just spent a week at the Dimitris Studios and can agree with everything that has already been said by others. The studios are very clean and tidy with stunning views over the Bay Of Pefki. The grounds around the complex are very well maintained and are of a very high standard. On the down side..Everything in the pool bar is well over priced, nearly double of that you can find in the town.The air-con in the rooms,( which you definatly need ) is 55 euros a week =£50.Safety deposit boxes are 10 euros.. ( which you proberbly wont need ) Oh and that BLOODY BIG HILL to get up and down to the main part of Pefkos.It really is a killer in that kind of heat !!! Try and find a small family run resturant called " Blue Bay" its around half way down the main street towards Eclipes Bar.. the food there is some of the freshest and well cooked in Pefkos. Its also one of the most reasonably priced in the resort and the waiters are also very friendly .The night life in Pefkos is low key with the music being turned off at 12 in the bars and 1.00 in the clubs. Head for Lindos if your looking for late night closing, these clubs close when the last person leaves...even if thats 8.00 in the morning. All in all we had a great holiday but with the pound being weak against the euro, make sure you take plenty of spending money.

Our sixth time to pefkos, and by far the best apartments,stayed in different ones each time.my 10/10 says it all.Pefkos itself has'nt changed much over the eighteen years we've been coming ,still nice and compact.The hill up back up to the Dimitris is a toil even when fit,but there are taxi's..4euros.

Have just returned from our holiday staying at the Dimitris Studio Apartments.
What can I say.. the apartment my husband and I stayed in was in the new building, these apartments are very spacious, clean and modern, there is aircon (available at a charge) which I would recommend as it was very warm when we were there in June, high 30 low 40. the apartments are set in very nice gardens, the swimming pool and bar area is also very modern. The apartments are set at the top of a very steep hill, but the views from all of the rooms are fantastic and well worth the walk up the hill, though if you are feeling lazy then there are taxi's at the bottom of the hill. I have no hesitation in recommending these apartments, and would certainly come back.

Went to Dimitris end Sept start Oct 07, what a lovely place, lovely kept gardens, clean modern studios, bath, shower, curtain and hair-dryer. Views are wonderful, you are at the top of the hill overlooking the town, you could sit looking at the view for ever. Many photos of sunsets were taken.
Only complaints is the men at the bar don't make this place as welcoming as it should be and room 101 is right next to the pool and you could hear the pump at night, loud! Very steep hill to town, get taxi up 4euros.
Most places good for food, we tried Enigma, Red Dragon Chinese, Indian - Shanghai think it was called, and Artemis all good meals. Try Eclipse for some drinks, what a place, brilliant, mesmerized by the waterfall, and for a fun evening go to Wild West bar, Yianni will soon get you all up dancing, thanks for the lifts home up the hill Yianni.
The main beach is nice but gets packed, but there are a couple beaches either side which is quieter, we went snorkelling most days, the fish take bread out of your hands.
Went to Lindos for the evening, interesting but wouldn't want to stay there, and went to Lardos and totally glad we didn't stay there too, made the best choice with Pefkos. We liked the fact that it wasn't full of loud teenagers, mostly middle aged sensible people who know how to have fun and relax. Must say thanks to Vic and Lynne who we had some laughs with, nice to have met you.
The weather was sun every day, high 80's low 90's, but 3 days running it was over 100, unusual for this time of year. If you went out in the summer months would def need air con, very expensive though. Would def return here, best place we have stayed in Greek islands so far, but bar staff cheer up and make it more fun, we would of spent more evenings at the pool bar then.

We have just returned from Pefkos in Rhodes, where we stayed at the Dimitris Studios. This was my fellas first trip to Rhodes and was a little worried after just booking the holiday with no recommendations and only the small picture in the Kosmar book.
As soon as the transfer bus pulled up and we saw the beautiful gardens, the pool, studios and of course the fantastic view we knew we had booked the best place on the island.
The Dimitris studios are perfect for a relaxing holiday, to catch some sun and to enjoy some well deserved down time from work.
Each morning the wild goats would walk past the fence and look in at the tasty green grass of the lawns and look fed up because they could not reach it. Again, in the evening they would pass again - but they did enjoy the bread and bits people put over the fence for them.
The sunsets are to die for - I think I have come back with about 10 pictures. The food, wine, beers everything was perfect.
The town and the beach, the restaurants and the little shops are just great. A talked about in other reviews the only downside is the hill, but lets face it we ate and enjoyed all our food and walked up the hill 2 or 3 times a day - and coming back off holiday we have not gained an ounce - so, getting walking that hill - it does you good.
If you go, enjoy it, relax and have a great time. I know we did.
Thank you Kosmar and Going Places in Beeston for finding us this holiday.
